Trump unveils Dulles airport overhaul: ‘We’re going to make it maybe the best.’

President Donald Trump announced plans to renovate Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia, aiming to transform it into 'maybe the best' airport in the world. The proposal includes replacing the existing 'people movers'—bus-like vehicles used for passenger transport—with an underground train system and a central walking tunnel. Trump criticized the current airport design as 'terrible' and 'incorrectly designed,' emphasizing the need for significant improvements such as expanded parking, redesigned check-in areas, and more efficient security screening. The project is estimated to cost around $22 billion and would be funded through airport-generated revenue and airline contributions, though congressional approval may still be required. The overhaul aims to preserve the iconic main terminal designed by Eero Saarinen while adding a large multi-level parking garage. Trump has shown continued interest in aviation projects during his second term, including accepting a Qatari-gifted Boeing 747 and pushing for air traffic control modernization.
